A Grateful Heart

What better day than my birthday to introduce my new niece and nephew and to count my blessings! On Aungust 3, 2010 Auntie Meg gave birth to these two beautiful little angels - FINALLY! It feels like we have been waiting for them forever! Auntie Meg was amazing - worked all night, in labor for 18 hours and then gave birth to both babies and still managed to entertain company all day and night in the hospital and was gracious enough to share the babies with all of us.

Meg managed to make me feel very special by coming to the beach house for my birthday - Lila and Brendan's very 1st outing since leaving the hospital. And on top of it they were dressed in their Auntie shirts - what a treat! I can't imagine loving these two little bundles any more than I do right now and they are only 6 days old! I am so grateful to be a part of their lives!

I always like to count my many blessings on my birthday but I have to be honest - there are alot of them this year. Bob is the most amazing husband in the world - kind, gentle, passionately loving with me and the best father I have ever met. The kids are healthy, happy and loved by many people. My parents are young, vital and unbelievably supportive of our family. I have dozens of family that I adore who all live in close proximity to our house and visit often. My best friends are my cousins who are supportive and loving, not just of me but my entire family. I have a job that I love and co-workers that I genuinely respect and admire. We have a house that provides a home for our family, a church community that embraces us and the resources to never need for anything! I am blessed beyond belief and thank God everyday for the life that I have been given! It doesn't get much better than this!
I have lots of baby pictures and birthday beachhouse pictures to add later in the week!
GNM - ILY!
